Doors opened this week to Pacific Radiology’s latest
Metro Branch in Christchurch, specialising in sports and
musculoskeletal imaging.
Ideally located on the ground
floor of 136 Moorhouse Ave and opposite the new Christchurch
Metro Sports precinct currently in development, Pacific
Radiology’s new Metro branch complements an existing range
of surrounding sports related services, including
physiotherapists, podiatrists, sports medicine specialists
and other medical practitioners.
This new Metro branch
will play an essential role in diagnosing and supporting the
treatment of sports related as well as accidental injuries.
By using leading ultrasound, x-ray and Conebeam CT
technology the highly experienced clinical team at the Metro
branch have the potential to diagnose issues
quickly.
Newly appointed Metro Branch Manager,
Michaela Dawson, highlights the importance of this new
branch to the local community:
“Our Conebeam CT with
its ability to detail high definition and cross-sectional
imaging of smaller body parts, such as hands and feet, make
injury diagnosis that much easier in these more complicated
body parts.”
From supporting record-breaking athletes
at the Tokyo Olympics in 2022 to researching concussion
risks in Junior Rugby through its nationwide branches,
Pacific Radiology has long been committed to the health,
well-being and success of New Zealand’s sports
people.
Expanding its services further to meet the
growing demand in Canterbury for injury related services,
Pacific Radiology’s Canterbury Regional Manager, Adrianne
Hayes, notes that the new branch will also provide
specialised imaging treatment procedures for assisting with
a patient’s injury recovery plans.
“By working
closely with referring healthcare practitioners as part of a
patient’s treatment and recovery healthcare plan, our
specialist radiologists can perform highly effective
ultrasound guided musculoskeletal procedures which have the
potential to negate more invasive surgery,” says Adrianne
Hayes.
The new Christchurch Metro clinic accepts
patient referrals from across the region and is open Monday
to Friday, 8.00am – 5.00pm. Appointments can be made easily
through the Pacific Radiology contact centre on 0800 869 729
or patients with an X-ray referral can simply walk-in
without an
appointment.
